Today Thy mercy calls me to wash away my sin;
However great my trespass, whate'er I may have been;
However long from mercy I may have turned away,
Thy blood, O Christ, can cleanse me, and make me white today.

Today Thy gate is open, and all who enter in
Shall find a Father's welcome, and pardon for their sin;
The past shall be forgotten, a present joy be given;
A future grace be promised, a glorious crown in heav'n.

Today the Father calls me, the Holy Spirit waits,
The blessèd angels gather around the heav'nly gates;
No question will be asked me, how often I have come;
Although I oft have wandered, it is my Father's home.

O all embracing mercy, thou ever open door,
What shall I do without thee when heart and eyes run o'er?
When all things seem against me, to drive me to despair,
I know one gate is open, one ear will hear my prayer.
